Competitor & judge reference

Movement Standards

All volumes below are shared team totals. Only one partner works at a time. Apply the penalties in the separate KloovX Race Rules.

At every stationary station

The resting partner waits behind the working partner in the designated area until changing over. For the carry, the resting partner walks behind. Mixed-team partners use their own prescribed load, except at the farmer's carry.

01

Ski

1,000m total | All divisions

  • The judge resets the monitor before the team starts. Partners may divide the distance freely.
  • Work from the SkiErg platform. Feet may lift, but must land back on the platform, not the surrounding ground.
  • Start with the damper at 6. Only the working partner may adjust it. Do not pass handles between partners.
  • At 1,000m, the final working partner remains on the platform and signals the judge. Wait for confirmation before leaving.
Judge checks

Platform position, resting partner position and full distance.

02

Single-dumbbell ground-to-overhead

80 reps | Men 20kg / Women 10kg

  • At least one dumbbell head touches the ground at the start of every rep.
  • A snatch, or a clean followed by a press, push press or jerk, is allowed.
  • Finish with hips, knees and working elbow fully extended and the dumbbell controlled overhead.
  • Change hands whenever preferred; alternating is not compulsory.
Judge checks

No-rep for missing ground contact, incomplete extension or lack of overhead control.

03

Burpee to plate

60 reps | 20kg plate for all divisions

  • Place both hands behind the red line for each burpee. Chest and thighs must touch the ground.
  • Step or jump out of the burpee. Feet may cross the red line; hand placement must remain behind it.
  • Jump onto the plate. Stepping onto it is not allowed. Simultaneous two-foot take-off or landing is not required.
  • Finish with both feet fully on the plate and hips and knees fully extended.
Judge checks

No-rep for hands on/over the line, missing chest or thigh contact, stepping onto the plate, incomplete foot placement or incomplete extension.

04

Row

1,000m total | All divisions

  • The judge resets the monitor before the team starts. Divide the distance freely, with one partner rowing at a time.
  • The resting partner remains in the waiting area and may not assist with straps, the handle or damper adjustments.
  • Damper initially at 6; the working athlete may adjust it. Adjust the footplates to fit.
  • The final working athlete stays seated until the full distance is displayed and the judge confirms completion. This does not prevent partner changeovers earlier in the station.
Judge checks

Resting partner position, full distance and judge confirmation before the final dismount.

05

Filled-bag farmer's carry

200m | Men & mixed: 2 × 24kg / Women: 2 × 16kg

  • Carry two filled bags, one in each hand, with arms extended at the sides.
  • Only one partner carries. The other walks behind. Swap whenever preferred.
  • Bags may be put down to rest or change over, without gaining forward distance when setting them down.
  • Complete the full marked 200m route and return the bags to the designated area.
Judge checks

Both bags carried, correct load, full course and correct return.

06

Static sandbag lunges

80 reps | Men 20kg / Women 10kg

  • Hold the sandbag across both shoulders. Alternate legs; forward or reverse lunges are allowed.
  • The back knee touches the ground. Return to the same standing position with feet together and hips and knees fully extended. Each lunge is one rep.
  • Once brought into use, a sandbag must stay off the ground until all 80 team reps are complete, including during rests and changes.
  • Same-weight partners transfer the shared bag without grounding it. Mixed partners use their own bags; the resting partner keeps theirs on their shoulders in the waiting area. An unused bag may remain on the ground until first use.
Judge checks

No-rep for missing knee contact, incomplete standing position, failure to alternate or incorrect bag position. Grounding a bag incurs +15 seconds each time.

07

Wall balls

100 reps | Men: 14lb to 3.0m / Women: 10lb to 2.7m

  • Start fully upright, holding the ball in both hands.
  • Squat until the hip crease is below the top of the knees, then throw with both hands and strike the correct target.
  • Mixed partners use their own prescribed ball and target height.
  • If the ball falls, reset standing tall before the next squat. Do not rebound-catch it from the ground straight into the next rep.
  • For partner changes, put the ball down or hand it over. Do not swap by having the resting partner catch a target throw and continue.
  • Wait for the judge to confirm all 100 valid reps before leaving for the stairs.
Judge checks

No-rep for insufficient squat depth, missed/wrong target, incorrect load or an invalid start/changeover. Reps also stop counting while the resting partner is outside the waiting area.

Finish together

After the wall balls, both partners run up the stairs to cross the finish line. The second partner's crossing determines the team finish time.
